Delhi High Court

New Delhi, Nov 28: The Delhi High Court on Thursday issued a notice to the Delhi government for the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi.

The High Court issued the directive hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by all seven Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs from Delhi.

The bench, headed by Chief Justice Manmohan and comprising Justice Manmeet Pritam Arora, has linked the case with other ongoing matters concerning health infrastructure and scheduled the next hearing for December 11, 2024.

Bansuri Swaraj, senior advocate and BJP MP, represented all petitioner members of Parliament to argue that the scheme has not been implemented in Delhi, denying the target beneficiaries easy and efficient access to the promised Rs five lakh coverage.

This coverage is intended to protect individuals from catastrophic expenses related to secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation at a wide network of empaneled public and private hospitals.
